Adrien Grand updated SOLR-3855:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-3855.patch

Initial patch:

DocValues can be:
 - configured on a per-field-type basis (docValueType=...),
 - enabled on a per-field basis (docValues=true/false)

and are available for the following field types:
 - StrField,
 - UUIDField,
 - Trie*Field,
 - BoolField.

When doc values are enabled, they have precedence over the field cache for 
{{getValueSource}} and {{getSortField}}, however faceting and stats cannot use 
doc values yet (I would like to do this as a separate issue).

I force fields that have doc values enabled to be single-valued and to be 
either required or have a default value.

I also modified a lot of code (ReturnFields especially) to make DocValues 
behave like stored fields. I think this would be great for ID fields. In a 
cluster that has {{numShards}} shards, it would help decrease the number of 
disk seeks in the .fdt file (which is often too big to fit entirely in the OS 
cache) per request from {{(numShards * (start + rows) + rows)}} to {{rows}}.

The patch is not committable yet, and I have 
{{BasicDistributedZkTest.testDistribSearch}} that always fails (not sure why 
yet...) but I'd love to have some feedback to know whether it is going in the 
right direction.

> It would be nice if Solr supported DocValues:
>  - for ID fields (fewer disk seeks when running distributed search),
>  - for sorting/faceting/function queries (faster warmup time than fieldcache),
>  - better on-disk and in-memory efficiency (you can use packed impls).
